HARTFORD, Connecticut - The police state has not arrived quite yet but it may feel like it to the residents of some American cities, where a handful of embattled mayors and police chiefs are imposing strict and sometimes sweeping curfews as a last resort to quell new waves of gun violence this summer.

    • wow...American is really turning into a dictatorship..soon enough (apparently) the jails will be full of "curfew breakers" instead of murders, rapists, and child molestors. good job connecticut for starting it up!!!

    • Gun control? I believe we need it. Lock down of our cities? Hell no. Yet if asked most older citizens in cities would probably say they are afraid to go out at night. Our civil rights have all but disappeared in the past 7 years. I support the ACLU.

    • With this weeks polls showing John McCain creeping into the lead it seems evident that we will cheerfully vote for our own demise.

    • The citizens of these cities have lost control and given up.

      Let them be herded like sheeple.

      They are in need of shepherds.

      Ride on!

    • GUNS, GUNS, GUNS, Maybe they need to catch the ones committing the crimes rather than coming down on the rest of the citizens. Seems like the law up there is to busy sitting in an office eating jelly filled donuts and drinking rich coffee they bought with money from a drug dealer.

    • Wow, sure glad mom and dad were 'lax when I was young... Most people are not out every night shooting up the town and this seems very totalitarian if I might say so.

    • It's a phenomenon that is starting to happen across the globe, the state has way too much power and it is starting to wield it accordingly.

      Developed nations with well organised central planning strategies are starting to show how easy it is to control the masses, while using the masses.
